      Up until the last 3 episodes the last one was my favorite season. Lucca Quinn amazingly was able to replace and surpass my love for the Kalinda character.

        I'm with you...I certainly missed Kalinda, but I definitely enjoyed Lucca and Jason.

        I realize after sleeping on it that the whole point is to have come full circle and probably show what Ruth was talking about to Alicia with fate...which fits right in with the show being a bit of a Greek Tragedy. Alicia ends up a "bad wife" and still ends up alone...getting slapped by Diane, just like Alicia had slapped Peter in the pilot.

          Exactly. That's what they were going for. And like I stated I understand it completely even though I would have preferred a happier ending.

                  The Americans gets renewed for two more seasons and then it's done. This is per its official Facebook page.

                    Sounds about right. Hope it finishes well.
                    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                            Hey, I'm not 60 (well not for 7 more days) and I watched it.

                              I watched it and can't even remotely see how The Americans is anything like it.

                                I'm under 60. My older sister (under 60 until July) loved DS. It was awful. You take the same hackneyed themes of soap operas going back to the golden age of radio, and transplant them into a strange setting. In The Americans it's Soviet era espionage. But the show itself, the writing, is just the same tried-and-true kitchen table soap.

                                It works great if you (a) like the setting, or (b) love that Payton Place domestic intensity / inevitable plot twist bit. In a lot of ways about 50% of all TV drama is working off the same 1937 script; there's nothing wrong with it.
